Cleaning methods that respect the materials in your home.
We select products based on what they are cleaning, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every product in our kit is eco-conscious and chosen to protect the materials in your home while delivering a thorough result.

What our clients have said
“I was hesitant on getting regular cleaners but after my first clean with Elm I am officially converted. They are friendly, professional and fantastic at their work. My home has looked or felt so clean. I am so happy and impressed. Highly recommended.”
DaneFirst residential clean
“I was recommended Elm cleaning by a neighbour and started using their service fortnightly during my recent pregnancy, and with the baby now 4 months old, our cleaners really feel like part of the family! They do an excellent job.”

The things people usually want to know before booking
How long does a typical clean take?−
It depends on the size and condition of your home. We give you a time estimate when we quote so you know what to expect. We always prioritise doing the job properly over rushing to finish.
Can I change my cleaning day or frequency?+
Yes. Let us know in advance and we will adjust your schedule. If you need to skip a visit or move to a different day, we will accommodate where possible.
Do I need to be home during the clean?+
No. Most regular clients provide a key or key-safe code. Your cleaner locks up when they are done. If you have opted into visit summaries, you will receive one after the clean.
What if I am not happy with a clean?+
Let us know by text, email, or phone. If something was missed, we will return within 24 hours to address it at no additional cost.
Are your products safe for my home?+
Yes. We use eco-conscious products that are safe around pets and family members. If you have specific requirements such as scent-free or hypoallergenic products, let us know and we will accommodate from your first visit.
How much does house cleaning in Melbourne cost?+
Pricing depends on the size of your home, the condition it is in, and how often we visit. Weekly and fortnightly clients pay less per visit than one-off bookings. We give you a fixed quote before the first clean so you know exactly what each visit will cost.
Do you service my Melbourne suburb?+
We have cleaners working across more than 90 suburbs, from Bayside through the Inner East and out to the Mornington Peninsula. The fastest way to check is to request a quote with your address. If we are not already in your area, we will tell you up front.
What is the difference between weekly, fortnightly, and one-off cleaning?+
Weekly and fortnightly are recurring visits to the same scope, with the same cleaner where possible. They are the most cost-effective option for keeping a home maintained. A one-off clean is a single visit, usually deeper in scope, suited to a reset, a move, or when you need extra help for a specific reason.
Built around Melbourne homes since 2012
We started in Braeside and have spent fifteen years cleaning across Melbourne, from Bayside apartments to family homes in the East and houses on the Mornington Peninsula. Every cleaner is directly employed, police-checked, and trained on our scope before they walk into a customer's home.
If something is not right, we come back inside 24 hours and fix it. That commitment is what most of our customers stay for.
